Famous quotes containing the words john and/or pratt:

    Now John wore clothing of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    —Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)
